The mirror in the array can enlarge its rotation an- gles up to 90° and keep a steady state to steer the optical signal. According to the large-rotation behavior, an electro- mechanical model of the mirror is presented. By monolithic integration of fiber grooves and mirrors fabricated by a sur- face and bulk hybrid micromachining process, the coarse passive alignment of fiber-mirror-fiber can be achieved. The re- flectivity of the mirror is measured to be 93.1% ~96.3%. The switches demonstrate that the smallest fiber-mirror-fiber insertion loss is 2. ldB using OptiFocusTM collimating lensed fibers. Moreover,only about ＋- 0.01dB oscillating amplitude of insertion loss is provoked after the device is tested for 15min for 5-90Hz in the vertical vibration amplitude of 3mm.展开更多

The fabricated samples are characterized by scanning electron microscope and transmission spectrum. High-quality samples with large transmissions in the pass bands and the sharp band edges are obtained and the optimum growth condition is determined. For the best sample, the transmission in the pass bands approaches 0.9 while that in the band gap reaches 0.1. More importantly, the maximum differential transmission as high as 0.1/nm is achieved. In addition, it is found that the number of stacking layers does not increase linearly with concentration of PS spheres in a solution, and a gradual saturation occurs when the concentration of PS spheres exceeds 1.5 wt.%. The uniformity of the fabricated samples is examined by transmission measurements on areas with different sizes. Finally, the tolerance of the fabricated samples to baking was studied.展开更多

The strong scattering force exerted on polystyrene spheres with a large diameter of 4.3 μm is employed to realize the switching operation. A transparent window is opened for the signal light when the polystyrene spheres originally located at the beam centre are driven out of the beam region by the strong scattering force induced by the control light. The switching dynamics under different incident powers is investigated and compared with that observed in the optical switch based on the formation of optical matter. It is found that a large extinction ratio of - 30 dB and fast switching-on and switching-off times can be achieved in this type of switch.展开更多

The key element of our scheme is a moveable mirror of cavity as a charged mechanical oscillator capacitively coupled to a fixed charged plate in a variable capacitor. By adjusting the voltage of the capacitor, the displacement of the moveable mirror is modulated, then the cavity field can be electrically turned on or off due to the detuning of the cavity. Based on the cavity induced transparency, the transparency window can be electrically switched on or off by turning on or off the cavity field. Therefore, the susceptibility of the medium in the cavity can be electrically controlled, i.e., the scheme of the electrically controlled absorption switching can be demonstrated. This electrically driven optical switch will excite a development trend and implementation prospect towards the integration and miniaturization of quantum module device in a chip.展开更多

文摘Recently,impressive progress has been achieved on a new and brilliant scheme for a solid-state quadratic nonlinear optical(NLO)switch,which holds enormous potential for developing next-generation intelligent optoelectronic devices.However,most of them are still restricted by their poor switching capability and low operating temperature.Herein,we present a rational design approach for developing a highly efficient hybrid halide NLO switching material through introducing conjugated aromatic Schiff base cations.As expected,an organic-inorganic hybrid halide compound(C_(10)H_(14)N)PbBr_(3)(1,C_(10)H_(14)N is N-propylbenzylideneaminium)has been developed,which exhibits highly efficient modulation of the quadratic NLO property(1.05 times that of KH_(2)PO_(4))and a high phase transition temperature of 411 K.Besides,the second harmonic generation(SHG)powder test demonstrates that this material is phase matchable.Microscopic single-crystal structure analysis combined with theoretical calculations reveals that the high-performance NLO switching behaviour of 1 originates from the reversible ordered/disordered transformation of the aromatic Schiff base N-propylbenzylideneaminium cations accompanied by the re-orientation of the inorganic[PbBr_(3)]_(∞)framework.More importantly,further investigations show that the conjugated effect of the Schiff base cations makes important contributions to the NLO properties of 1.This work opens up a new route for designing highly efficient quadratic NLO switches and provides a promising way to further develop high-performance solid-state phase transition materials(e.g.ferroelectrics)and intelligent optoelectronic devices.

文摘Optical switch matrices are critical components in data centers,telecommunications,and advanced computing systems,facilitating dynamic and flexible routing of optical signals to support the increasing demands of data transmission.As data traffic escalates exponentially,scalability of these matrices becomes paramount.However,the constrained physical space necessitates high integration density,which poses significant challenges related to switching element size and thermal crosstalk,particularly in thermally driven optical switch matrices.In this paper,we propose a scalable optical switch matrix employing ultra-compact thermally tunable micro-disk resonators(MDRs).At each waveguide crossing,dual MDRs are strategically placed to support multiple direction routings,thereby enabling rearrangeable non-blocking connectivity and increasing input/output(I/O)port density.To mitigate thermal crosstalk between adjacent MDRs,specifically engineered routing waveguides are integrated into the matrix.A proof-of-concept silicon photonic 1×8×2λswitch chip is fabricated and evaluated.With the use of the chip,an optical data transmission is experimentally demonstrated.The proposed switch matrix exhibits strong scalability and significantly reduced thermal crosstalk,showcasing its potential for future optical interconnection networks.
